PAINT: BEFORE & AFTER RESULTS "WOW!"

Look how my beater car came out! Looks like a brand new car!

It went from a dull orangy red finish to a deep wet lookin red color with a mirror like finish.



Meguiar's Ultimate Compound "walmart" $6.00
Meguiar's NXT liquid wax "walmart" $14.00


I used Eagle One Nanowax spray $6.99 (pepboys) after each carwash.

- Wed Jun 10, 2009 8:36 pm #122123 red paint oxidizes the most.
therefore buffing and waxing makes the biggest difference.
other colors will have less results.
i believe you buffed it, but pics look 'photoshopped'
looks good, though.
my teal coupe did not respond as well.

Yes. Red oxidizes the most in my opinion.

I buffed it with a DA polisher. How does it look photoshopped?

The reflection of the trees are on the hood. Its the real deal. The Meguiars ultimate compound works very well.
